What Causes Car Air Conditioning Leakage?
1 Answers
The reasons for water leakage in car air conditioning include improper installation of the unit, poor drainage pipe, condensation on the piping, and heat exchanger dripping. Improper installation of the unit: Usually, the indoor unit is tilted, and the direction of the pipe opening is too high. Solution: Re-adjust the direction of the indoor unit to resolve the issue. Poor drainage pipe: Due to a loose or wavy-shaped drainage pipe, drainage is hindered. Solution: Check the drainage pipe's flow path and ensure the connection between the drainage pipe and the air conditioning pipe is proper. Condensation on the piping: If the insulation material on the piping is of poor quality or too thin, condensation occurs when the refrigerant passes through. Solution: Replace the insulation material. Heat exchanger dripping: Dust accumulation on the heat exchanger causes uneven temperature distribution, leading to water droplets forming midway on the heat exchanger. Water droplets falling outside the drip pan will drip indoors. Insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system can cause indoor icing, and the melted ice forms water droplets that do not directly fall into the drip pan. Solution: Clean the dust on the heat exchanger and replenish the refrigerant. Air conditioning maintenance: It is necessary to regularly replace the air conditioning filter. Its key role is to prevent wind and dust from entering the pipeline, so during normal maintenance, the replacement of the air filter is particularly important. Especially in environments with poor air quality, car owners need to follow the car maintenance instructions and combine it with seasonal adjustments for winter and summer, regularly maintaining and replacing the air filter.
